Gaming or Streaming if you have diabetes
If you’re taking on a streaming challenge and you live with diabetes, we also recommend you follow the below tips if applicable.
- Monitor your blood sugar levels throughout your challenge.
- Treat any hypos straightaway, take a break and don’t return until you feel better.
- Use our specially created holding screens to let others know you’re on a break.
- Keep your insulin nearby as blood sugar levels can rise when gaming because hormones like adrenaline are released.
